Appellate lawyer. Views my own. Tweeting far more about theatre than law these days.

The odds are high that I see this one again before the run ends at the end of July.

Cedric Neal captivates as the leading player in @sigtheatre’s Pippin. His runs in Glory are unreal. It really makes me wish I had the chance to see his Hermes on the West End.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

The rest of the cast is also strong. Eric Hissom made the most of his gifts as a physical comedian. Naomi Jacobson’s No Time at All was pitch perfect. Among the players, Hank von Kolnitz stood out to me every time he was on stage.

I’m not usually a fan of one-man shows (and I do think this may have been better as a two hander), but Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen (@Studio_Theatre) is clever and charming. Stevie Webb can absolutely hold the stage for an hour plus.

i don’t even want to talk about how much money i’ve spent on theater this year

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

It was also incredible to watch this proshot in a room full of people who were applauding and cheering the entrances and songs. Highly recommend seeing it in theaters if you can.

Spoiler free Hadestown proshot reaction:
It was awesome. I’m so glad that there’s going to be a permanent and accessible version of this musical and that it was done so well.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

(most of) Eva and Reeve’s All I’ve Ever Known

@scxrbus 👋

[cat @catbunnyswift]

hello public service announcement if u are seeing the hadestown proshot before its official release pls put a spoiler warning i wanna go in blind ok thank u

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

Excitement level is high!

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

I can’t remember the last time I laughed as much in a theatre as I did in Mincemeat tonight. So clever and so entertaining.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

I’m really glad I got to see Death Becomes Her before it closes, even if Michelle Williams and Betsy Wolfe were out today. It’s campy and silly and completely delightful.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

@riverfahey I really want to see it! I prioritized DBH and Chess this time because they’re closing, but Lost Boys is at the top of my list for my next trip.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

Rather predictably, this trip has turned into Kiloran Bay, the Hadestown pro shot, and six shows.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

So I guess I’m going to New York June 6-8

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

Laurie Metcalf’s performance in Death of a Salesman is absolutely brilliant. She reinvents Linda as a fierce and steely force, and, IMHO, that interpretation works so much better than a doting and naive housewife.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

Also, I enjoyed meeting some of wolfetwt in person. Had to run for an 8 o’clock curtain or I would have stuck around after to say hi properly.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

You were all right. Kiloran Bay is staggeringly good and emotionally wrenching.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

Made it.

[Max Baldi @maxwellbaldi]

“Train holding in station” are not the words I want to hear on my way to Kiloran Bay
